`application led January 11, 411917. Serial No. 141,774.

ycitizen ci? the United States, residing at Houston, in the county ofHarris and State of Texas, have invented certain new and usefulimprovements in `Stoves, of which :the following' is a speciication.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in stoves.

Theobject of the invention is to provide a stove ot' the characterdescribed which is provided with a novel form of combustion chamber andequipped with an oil burner which is contained in said chamber andadapted to utilize oil asa fuel. The rform of stove shown is designedfor heating pur 'posesonly although. the stove may also be designed forcooking purposes if desired.

-With the above and other objects in View the invention has "particularrelation to certain novel features of construction, arrangement of partsand usean eXampleof which is given in this speciiication `andillustrated inthe accompanying drawings wherein:

Figure 1V isa verticals'ectional v'view 'ofthe stove.

Fig. 2 shows a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig.1, and

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the burner taken on the line3-3 of Fig. 1.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings wherein like numerals ofreference designate similar parts in each of the figures, the numeral 1refers to the body or outer shell of the stove which is composed usuallyof sheet metal and may be formed vinto any particular design desired;the numeral 2 indicates the combustion chamber formed by the upper andlower transverse partitions 3 and 4 respectively, and the front wall 5.These transverse partitions extend from one side of the stove to theother, are arranged parallel and spaced a suiiicient distance apart toform the combustion chamber and also extend from the rear wall of thestove forwardly, and are bolted or otherwise secured at 'their marginsto the corresponding side walls and rear wall of the stove body 1. Thevertical partition extends from side to side of the Ystove and issecured at its upper and lower margins, respectivelv. to thecorresponding partitions 3 and 4;. The front wall of the stove isprovided with a circular opening which is normallyy closed by thecircular door 6 having the inwardly projecting annular flange 7 which tsclosely within the door opening. rlhe front wall '5 of `thecombustionchamber has also a circular "opening normally closed by the door '8having the annular inwardly projecting flange 9 which lits closelywithin said open- Ling. The door 8 has an air inlet 10 `which "extendsout through a central opening `in the door 6 and which 1s closelysurrounded by the sleeve 11 integral with and projectying inwardlyfromsaid last mentioned door and the passage ot air through this inlet`into the combustion chamber is controlled by means ott the ventilator12 ot any well known form.

Supported by the partition L1, within the combustion chamber is the panl2 which is preferably lined with asbestos, and alined over which is theburner nozzle 13. A 'fuel tank le is fixed above the stove and leadingtrom it is th'efuel pipe 15 which is controlled by the cutoff valve 16by means of which 'theltlow of tuel through the pipe. may be regulatedor entirely cut on". This pipe 15 enters the stove through "the side jofthe shell, passing transversely through the combustion chamber and isformed into a burner consisting of the parallel sections 17, 17', thetree end of the latter of which is turned downwardly and formed into thenozzle 13 extending underneath and parallel to the said sections 17, 17said nozzle being pro vided with discharge outlets 18, 18, to per mitthe escape oir' the fuel therefrom. rlFhe burner supports suitable gastargets 19, 19, which are arcuate in cross section and are arrangedabove the discharge openings 18 so as to deflect the blaze and protectthe upper partition 3 and distribute the heat throughout the combustionchamber. A primer pipe 20 is fixed to the partition 3 and extends upthrough the top of the stove and its upper end is closed by means of thedoor 21. When it is desired to start a tire, a quantity of fuel such ascrude oil or kerosene is poured through the primer pipe 20 and caught bythe pan 12. This fuel is then ignited and the valve 16 opened to admit:tuel from the tank 14:. The fire from the pan will ignite the fuelwhich is discharged from the pipe 15 through the discharge outlets 18and the blaze therefrom will be deleeted from the gas targets 19, 19. Atthe same time, the burner sections 17, 17 will be heated by the blazeand the fuel therein converted into gas which will thereafter escapethrough the discharge outlets 18, 18,

and be ignited in the combustion chamber 'flue opening 22, providedinthe rear part of the partition 4 and thence forwardly under and up infrontV of the combustion chamber and then passes out through the stovepipe-23. yThe heated air will thus be distributed all around the wallsof the stove causing the stove to radiate heat uniformly from all sides.

A needle valve 16 is provided to regulate the flow of fuel to theburner, the cut olf valve 16 being utilized chieliy to entirely Cut offthe fuel when the stove is not in use.

W hat l claim is:

'1.` A sheet metal stove comprising top and bottom'and front and rearwalls, a combustion chamber within said stove comprising a top andbottom wall and a front wall, the walls of said combustion chamberextending from side to side of said stove and spaced respectively fromthe front and top and bottom -walls thereof, a flue in the top wall ofthe stove at the rear thereof, a transverse airinlet extendingthroughthe front walls of the stove and combustion chamber, a

' burner in said combustion chamber ar- 'Vranged 1nA the'path of airentering said inlet,

and an air outlet in the bottom wall of the combustion chamber at therear thereof whereby air entering said inlet flows across said burnerand out said outlet and around the exterior of the combustion chamber.

2. A sheet metal stove comprising top and bottom and front and rearwalls, a combustion chamber within said stove comprising a top andbottom wall and a front wall, the walls of said combustion chamberextending from side to side of said stove and spaced respectively fromthe front land top and bottom walls thereof, a flue in the top wall ofthe stove at the rear thereof, a transverse air inlet extending throughthe front walls of the stove and combustion chamber, a burner in saidcombustion chamber comprising a drip pan, a nozzle above said pan anddeiector plates above said nozzle arranged in the path of air enteringsaid inlet, and an air outlet in the bottom wall of the combustionchamber at the rear thereof whereby air entering said inlet flows acrosssaid burner and out said outlet and around the exterior of thecombustion chamber.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
